"What should we do? Delay our mission?" Lin Xue asked.
The Wizard Association’s strategy of deception had disrupted all of their subsequent plans. Knowing that it’s a trap, they certainly couldn’t proceed as planned. If they did, it would be like punching a fist full of power into cotton. The blow to the players’ collective strength and morale would be unimaginable.
"There’s no time," Mu You sighed and shook his head. The time was too short.
If only the elite team and the regulatory agency were involved, it would be easy to call off the action. Still, the problem was that too many people were involved in this action. The news of the mission at 11:30 PM had already been disseminated widely.
Even if he could halt the actions of the elite team and the regulatory agency, he couldn’t instantly notify everyone given the pressing time constraint. Even if they did not act, someone would, and what needed to be exposed would eventually be exposed.
More importantly, the Floating Door was probably already open. The movement of the Floating Stone required manual control. It was likely moving towards the Imperial Capital, but for it to arrive at an exact location at an exact time required personal adjustments. Therefore, the door had to be opened in advance.
If the door were opened but the operation abandoned, the door wouldn’t open again until ten days later, by which time the server-wide mission deadline would have passed.
In other words, if this operation were called off, the ’airborne soldier plan’ would be completely scrapped. For the remaining days, they would have to face the Wizard Association, which is on alert, and they would also lose the advantage of the Floating Door. The chance of breaking through the Arcane Tower would be almost zero!
So all in all, once the arrow is drawn, it is necessary to shoot.
Mu You glanced at his wristwatch, 11:26, only four minutes left until the scheduled action time.
"I’ll make a quick trip back, I’ll return immediately!"
Mu You said to Lin Xue, and then placed a Teleport Array on the spot.
The Teleport Array would be detected by the Mage Tower and might startle the Wizard Association. But there was no time to consider that. It’s even better to stir the grass to alert the snake than to let the big army fall into the snake pit to die.
Through the Teleport Array, Mu You returned directly to the side of the door in the snowfield.
At this time, Little Ya was sitting in front of the door guarding it, and in the snowfield in front of her, an Elf Priest was leading a group of summoned beasts on patrol.
Little Ya’s game characters and summoned beasts had been transferred over. At the moment, she sat behind the door, playing the game while watching her character’s actions, feeling quite intrigued.
She was engrossed in the game when suddenly a man appeared in front of the door, scaring her. Then, she recognized it was Mu You.
"Huh? Boss, why are you back? Isn’t it almost time to assault the tower?"
"Something came up..."
Mu You didn’t have time to explain extensively. After entering the door, he immediately took out his phone from the core space locker, waited for a few seconds for the signal to recover, then took out a business card from his pocket and dialed the number on it.
Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to establish contact with government departments, he would have to first contact Zhang Yang. But there was not enough time to do so now. The communication method from down to up always takes time, and they simply don’t have that time at the moment.
So Mu You directly contacted a more influential person - the Blood Emperor!
What he held in his hand was the business card left by the Blood Emperor when he was rescuing the young boy. The card contained the Blood Emperor’s private number.
Now, he just hopes that the team on the other side has not yet entered the door, and the Blood Emperor has his phone on him.
Fortunately, after a brief busy tone, the call was quickly answered.
The vigilant voice of the Blood Emperor came from the other end. Seeing a stranger’s call on his private number on the brink of a significant operation, anyone would be alert.
"Oh?" The Blood Emperor was taken aback. He did give his private number to Mu You, but Mu You had never contacted him before. He never imagined that Mu You would suddenly call him at this crucial moment.
"Immediately halt all actions, the Arcane Tower inside the military camp is a trap!" Mu You came straight to the point, summarizing the situation.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Emperor frowned and immediately signaled to everyone in the hall, "Everyone, hold on!"
At this moment, nearly a hundred fully armed advanced players were ready to go in a certain room in the capital. In addition to them, there were many armed personnel and liaison clerks responsible for handling any emergencies.
And the little boy Mu You had rescued before was curled up in a corner of the room. There was a small opening of a few centimeters in the arched door next to the boy. The opening was pitch-black with a faint layer of clouds. To prevent light from leaking out, the door was covered with a black curtain.
By the time the Blood Emperor received the call, the team of elite players was ready to set off. They didn’t expect the Blood Emperor to suddenly stop the operation. They looked at him in confusion.
After the Blood Emperor halted everyone else’s actions, he returned to the phone, "What’s happening? Explain!"
Mu You described the situation he had just encountered as accurately as possible.
"You’re saying that you were just near the Arcane Tower and noticed its abnormalities?"
"How did you discern the abnormalities?" The Blood Emperor asked.
"It’s a long story, in short there’s a high probability that the current Arcane Tower is a blind, the real Arcane Tower may be inside the Mage Tower."
